Indian Classical Music: Medicine in melody

The Healing Ragas

Six-year-old Radhika was in coma and only support from medical science was a ventilator which made her breath. All efforts to make her move failed. Then the doctor tried a relatively wild idea. Putting a head-phone around, they made her to listen Carnatic music. Guess what, the comatose broke.

Vrooming in India too!

It’s official. India for the first time in history will be hosting Formula One Grand Prix. Only condition is that the track needs to be ready by July 30 and achieves an FIA homologation.

The high-tech city of Greater Noida, situated around thirty kilometres from New Delhi has been known to the world for giving the best of the racing video games. What seems to be inspired from the gaming outsourcer’s virtual design, Jaypee Group is constructing a real motor racing track in the city.
